Language Science Press (LSP) is an open access scholarly publishing house specializing in linguistics, formally set up in 2014.

[1][2] Language Science Press publishes books on a central storage and archiving server in combination with print on-demand services.

Language Science Press goes back to the Open Access in Linguistics (OALI) initiative,[5] which was started by Stefan Müller and colleagues at the Free University of Berlin in August 2012.

In a second phase, a grant proposal was jointly submitted by Martin Haspelmath and Stefan Müller for the call “Open Access Monographs in the Humanities”.

[6] Funding came then from the German Research Foundation for the development of a full-fledged business model and its realization (Language Science Press) starting June 2014.

[14] Language Science Press has a partnership with Knowledge Unlatched, a global library consortium approach to funding open access books.
